Today I needed to make a trip to Tuesday Morning to get some page protectors for a photo album I am going to do of our vacation last week. Paying $1.99 instead of $5.99 makes the 20 minute trip worth it.
 |
| I got 3 different sizes: 12x12, 8.5x11 and 8x8. Each one has divided pockets so you can just slip a pretty paper or picture or other embellishment in and you are done. |
Now, the problem is, I couldn't leave with JUST the page protectors! I bought some other journaling cards, etc. to go in the divided pockets.
I spent 2 hours in the scrapbooking aisle! I ended up putting some of it back because it was going to be more money than I wanted to spend. Lots of the SMASH book stuff I found was $0.49.
Since Tim and I ate lunch at Arby's yesterday, we were not that hungry to go out for dinner last night, so we went light on lunch (actually, I had a donut for breakfast and nothing else til dinner) so we could eat out tonight. We went to Ruby Tuesday for our favorite pork chop meal!
Tim's mom told him about My Christmas Shop having succulent plants on sale, so we went to the one in Greensboro, got his plants, ate at Ruby Tuesday and then went to the Farmer's Market so he could look at their plants. He found a few. Then we came home and I played outside, in my shirt sleeves, with my camera again.

| The portion of the tree that is wrapped around the center is where the life is. Creepy looking tree. |

So, did you know that each month the full moon goes by a
different name? Neither did I! I saw someone post a picture of the Wolf Moon. I thought maybe it had a reference to this being Friday the 13th, LOL!
Nope! The Farmer's Almanac talks about it at the link above. "The Full Moon Names we use in the Almanac come from the Algonquin tribes who lived in regions from New England to Lake Superior. They are the names the Colonial Americans adapted most. Note that each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred." Pretty interesting!
Nite!

I love your pictures! And your last one of the moon is GORGEOUS! I want to learn how to do that. I still haven't. I heard a tripod and setting the timer are the secret tricks.
No tripod, sweetie! Just a great stabilizer built in, I guess! In my "scene" mode I can set it on "moon" and it works great! And, it wasn't even zoomed in all the way!
What a great camera!! I know you will enjoy it for years to come.
